Pedophile John Podesta Violated Federal Law by Not Disclosing 75,000 Stock Shares in a Kremlin Controlled Company

Pedophile and Satanist John Podesta, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016
national campaign chairman, may have violated federal law by failing to
disclose the receipt of 75,000 shares of stock from a Kremlin-financed
company when he joined the Obama White House in 2014, according to the
Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.

Joule Unlimited Technologies — financed in part by a Russian firm — originally awarded
Podesta 100,000 shares of stock options when in 2010 he joined that
board along with its Dutch-based entities: Joule Global Holdings, BV and
the Stichting Joule Global Foundation.
When Podesta announced his departure from the Joule board in January
2014 to become President Obama’s special counsellor, the company
officially issued him 75,000 common shares of stock.
The Schedule B section of the federal government’s form 278 which —
requires financial disclosures for government officials — required
Podesta to “report any purchase, sale or exchange by you, your spouse,
or dependent children…of any property, stocks, bonds, commodity futures
and other securities when the amount of the transaction exceeded
$1,000.”

Podesta’s form 278 Schedule B is blank regarding his receipt of any stock from any company.
Liberals and conservatives alike consider Podesta should have disclosed the stock.
“Well Podesta should certainly have been more upfront in filling this
out. Clearly, it should have been fully disclosed,” said Craig Holman,
a lobbyist for the liberal group Public Citizen which was founded by
Ralph Nader. “That’s the point of the personal financial disclosure
forms, especially for anyone entering the White House,” he told media in
an interview.

“If the transfer of stock took place, it had to be disclosed,” added
former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova in an interview. “If he didn’t,
clearly it’s a violation.”

The same year Podesta joined Joule, the company agreed to accept
1-Billion-Rubles — or $35 million — from Rusnano, a state-run and
financed Russian company with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.

Anatoly Chubais, the company CEO and two other Russian banking
executives worked together with Podesta on the Joule boards. The board
met six times a year.

Ron Hosko, a former FBI assistant director said because of the
Kremlin backing, it was essential Podesta disclose the financial
benefits he received from the company.

“I think in this case where you’re talking about foreign
interests and foreign involvement, the collateral interest with these
disclosure forms is put in the forefront of full disclosure of any
foreign interest that you may have,” he told media in an interview.

He added that Russian money was a continuing concern because it could “become a counterintelligence concern for America.”

“It’s a troubled question if you deliberately omit this information on the form,” Hosko, a 30-year veteran of the FBI said.
“Were you completely truthful on this form that you filled out, yes or no?”

Podesta took possession of the stock in January 2014, the same month he entered the White House, according to WikiLeaks.

The existence of the 75,000 shares of Joule stock was first revealed by the Government Accountability Institute report issued last year.
But Podesta didn’t pocket all the shares. Correspondence from
Podesta to Joule instructed the firm to transfer only 33,693 shares to
Leonidio Holdings, a brand-new entity he incorporated only on December
20, 2013, about ten days before he entered the White House.

A January 4, 2014 letter to
Joule corporate secretary Mark Solakian, Podesta requested the transfer
to Leonidio of 25,146 shares of series C stock and 8,547shares of
Series C-II. The letter was released by WikiLeaks last October.

When WikiLeaks disclosed the existence of Leonidio last year Josh
Schwerin a Clinton campaign spokesman claimed Podesta — by then the
campaign chairman — had “divested” himself of all the stock.

“When Podesta went back to the work at the White House, he worked
with White House counsel to personally divest from Joule and ensure he
was in full compliance with all government ethics rules,” Schwerin said, adding Podesta “filed the appropriate forms.”
But there is no indication the remaining 41,000 shares went to any other party.
The government does outline federal penalties for failing to report assets.

Title 5 of the U.S. Code stipulates the U.S. Attorney General can
file a civil action “against any individual who knowingly and willfully
falsifies or who knowingly and willfully fails to file or report any
information that such individual is required to report.” The federal
penalty can be up to $50,000 per count.

Leonidio is registered in Delaware as a limited liability
corporation. Podesta listed the address of his daughter, Megan Rouse, in
the incorporation papers. His mother and father also appear to be
co-owners of Leonidio.

Most experts believe the Office of Government Ethics — which is
supposed to monitor the accuracy of financial disclosure forms — is
toothless.

One of the last individuals to be indicted for filing incorrect
financial forms was former Rep. Walter Fauntroy in 1995. He was given
parole.

“Unfortunately, the office of government ethics has no authority to make anyone do anything,” admitted Holman.

“It is an advisory agency, essentially,” the liberal lobbyist told
press. “It can develop rules, it can make orders, but if someone
doesn’t abide by it. OGE has no enforcement authority.”
Scott Amey, general counsel for the nonpartisan Project on Government
Oversight went further, telling media in an interview “OGE doesn’t
really have the authority to open their own investigations and they
don’t have authority to get into disciplinary action.”

But OGE has also been accused of partisanship. Earlier this year OGE
Director Walter Shaub publicly criticized President Trump’s plan to
deal with his businesses, calling
his financial reorganization plan “wholly inadequate.” He also called
for the President to seek “total divestment” of his Washington, D.C.
hotel.

Last week the General Services Administration said a set of
additional rules to the federal lease for the downtown Washington hotel
put it into “full compliance” with governmental ethics laws.
DiGenova said the office biased and hypocritical in what cases they picked to criticize. “They have no problem tweeting out about Donald Trump’s hotels, but here on a clear violation they’re silent.”
